Who this guide is for

Afghan families newly arrived in Australia who want clear, respectful guidance on home loan eligibility — including those still building Australian income history.

The real challenge

Newly-arrived Afghan migrants face significant barriers — the chicken-and-egg of needing Australian income history, language gaps, and unfamiliarity with the Australian lending system. Many recent Afghan arrivals are humanitarian visa holders, which has different lending implications than skilled migration.

Most general brokers don't understand these pathways or speak Dari.

Frequently asked questions

I'm on a humanitarian visa. Can I get a home loan?

Permanent humanitarian visa holders (subclasses 200, 201, 202, 203, 204) generally have the same home loan rights as other PR holders, subject to lender policies and standard income requirements. We look at how lenders may treat your specific visa.

How long do I need to be in Australia before applying?

Many lenders want 6–12 months Australian income history. Some are more flexible with newer Afghan migrants on PR. We assess your specific situation.

Can I get a halal home loan as a new Afghan migrant?

Yes — Australian Islamic finance providers serve Afghan Muslim families, with similar income history requirements as conventional lenders. We can explain in Dari.

I have minimal savings. Can family overseas help with deposit?

Yes — gift money from overseas family is accepted with documentation. Funds need to be in Australian account 3 months pre-settlement.

When should I start planning for a home loan?

As soon as possible, even before you're ready to apply. Early planning helps you save the right way, build credit, and time your application well. We don't charge for early planning chats.
